What I'm looking for

I seek a senior DevOps/SRE role focused on cloud-native infrastructure, automation, and observability—collaborative teams, scalable systems, and opportunities to lead reliability initiatives.

I am a Senior DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with 8+ years designing and operating scalable cloud infrastructures across AWS and hybrid environments. I focus on automation, reliability, and delivering repeatable infrastructure using IaC tools like Terraform and Ansible.

I have led migrations of legacy services to containerized Kubernetes platforms (EKS) and built robust CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitLab CI, and ArgoCD to enable faster, safer deployments. My work emphasizes observability and incident automation using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK to maintain high availability.

Across roles I have driven measurable improvements — cutting environment setup time by over 80%, achieving zero-downtime releases, and sustaining 99.99% service availability through SRE practices such as SLO/SLI design and automated incident management.

I collaborate closely with engineering, product, and security teams to integrate testing, security checks, and performance optimization into delivery workflows, delivering resilient systems that scale with business needs.
